Psalm 110

Assurance of Victory for God’s Priest-King

Of David. A Psalm.

¹The Lord says to my lord,
“Sit at my right hand
until I make your enemies your footstool.”

²The Lord sends out from Zion
    your mighty scepter.
    Rule in the midst of your foes.
³Your people will offer themselves willingly
    on the day you lead your forces
    on the holy mountains.^[a]
From the womb of the morning,
    like dew, your youth^[b] will come to you.
⁴The Lord has sworn and will not change his mind,
    “You are a priest forever according to the order of Melchizedek.”^[c]

⁵The Lord is at your right hand;
    he will shatter kings on the day of his wrath.
⁶He will execute judgment among the nations,
    filling them with corpses;
he will shatter heads
    over the wide earth.
⁷He will drink from the stream by the path;
    therefore he will lift up his head.
